Konoha: I, Uzumaki Boruto is not cheating

"Hey, Shino, did you hear? Naruto and his team seem to have a new member in Team [-]."

"Ah, I heard that, Ya."

Shino pushed up his small glasses and replied calmly.

"Hey, hey, hey, you just said I heard about it? Don't you have any opinion? A person who has never heard of or seen before suddenly replaced Sasuke and became a member of Team [-]. Isn't it weird to think so? Really, it’s not a related household, right?”

"Ga, it's not good to have companions who may have to complete missions together in the future. Naruto and the others can cheer up faster now that they have gathered together."

Hinata said weakly.

"That's what I'm saying...but don't you think that guy named Boruto looks a bit like Naruto? If you hadn't always known Naruto when you were in the ninja school, and knew that he was alone since he was a child, he would I believe they are brothers."

"It is indeed very similar, and based on yesterday's contact, the parasite told me that the person is not weak."

Shino's tone remained calm.

"He has the same kind of familiarity as Naruto."

"Eh? That's weird, Hinata, aren't you afraid of life?"

After hearing Hinata's words, Kiba seemed to have discovered some new world.

"Well...but this new companion won't."

Hinata said calmly.

"This new companion should be very nice and easy to get along with."

Shino said.

"It seems true, Akamaru also likes him quite a bit."

……

As the news of Boruto joining Team [-] spread, similar conversations took place among the various teams in Konoha's generation, and everyone was curious about the newcomer who took Sasuke's place.

The incident of Sasuke's defection from the village was quite a big deal. On the one hand, Sasuke had excellent grades in the ninja school and had a cold and handsome face, which made him very popular. On the other hand, he was from the Uchiha clan. Related to the descendants of the Uchiha - there may only be two Uchiha people now. Now one of the two has defected to join the wanted terrorist organization - the Akatsuki organization, and the other has joined the group that just attacked Konoha and caused huge losses to Konoha. A rebel ninja under the command of Orochimaru.

It seems that the Uchiha clan is born with rebellion.

As the successor of Sasuke Uchiha, he is also a Boruto whom he has never heard of before, so it is not surprising that he arouses everyone's curiosity.

It's just that most of the evaluations of Boruto seem to have the labels of "easy to get along with" and "familiar", which is very different from his predecessor, Uchiha Sasuke.

But all this is extremely novel to Boruto.

It can be said that he is very familiar with the twelve young heroes of Konoha, especially Uncle Ya who plays very well with him, and Aburame Shino is his teacher. These people who have grown up with him will naturally have some Closeness.

But the current state of these people is somewhat different from that after they become adults.

This is a very subtle feeling and quite fun.

The current Boruto is a disciple that Jiraiya took in when he was traveling to find inspiration. He is a war orphan. Recently, there have been changes in his country, so he came to Konoha to seek asylum. Under Jiraiya's recommendation, he became a He became a ninja in Konoha and joined Team [-].

Tsunade has always known that Jiraiya likes to rescue war orphans, so under the premise of Jiraiya's guarantee, Boruto's joining Konoha and having a new identity is naturally a green light.

The ones who are most curious about Boruto are Sakura and Naruto.

Fortunately for Naruto, because of his unconditional trust in Jiraiya, when he heard that Boruto was his senior brother, he naturally happily accepted the setting.

What is strange to Sakura is that Boruto originally said that he was a busker and a person from the Kingdom of Wind, but how could he suddenly become Jiraiya's apprentice?

"Well, my identity was quite sensitive at that time, so I needed to make some disguises."

Boruto prevaricated him.

"But then again, you two really look alike."

"Huh? It doesn't sound like that at all."

"Huh? It doesn't sound like that at all."

Sakura was answered by Boruto and Naruto in unison.

……

Because Boruto is a time traveler and has no place to live in Konoha for the time being. The future goods he brought with him cannot be consumed in current Konoha, so under Jiraiya's arrangement, he temporarily stayed in Naruya. In other people's homes.

Naruto didn't have any objections to this. He had been lonely since he was young and could have a 'senior brother' to live with him, so he was naturally happy to accept it.

After taking Boruto around the village to get familiar with it, Naruto led Boruto back to his home.

"It's a bit messy, don't mind it."

After entering Naruto's slightly dilapidated cabin, Boruto was stunned by the various cups of milk and the remains of instant noodles scattered on the table.

"Is this the house where dad lived when he was a child?"

It seemed that he rarely heard Naruto talk about his childhood life.

"Have you lived alone all this time?"

he asked.

"Yes, always alone."

Naruto tidied up the messy table a little to make it look less messy.

"Because I don't have a parent."

Boruto didn't know how to reply for a moment.

Thinking of his identity in Konoha, he seemed to be a war orphan, so he said in a comforting way:

"In this way...I don't have it either."

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

But Naruto didn't care, he was used to it.

"Cuckoo..."

Their stomachs rumbled at the same time.

"It seems that you haven't eaten anything this afternoon. You are hungry too. Let's eat first. I will do it. After all, you are a guest."

"Please have a big meal."

"Feast?"

This is good news for Boruto.

But after a while, Boruto was speechless looking at the "Cup Ramen Feast" in front of him.

"That's it?"

"Is this a feast?"

"of course."

Naruto replied matter-of-factly.

"This is the specialty ramen that I strongly recommend. If you want to eat it, there are more."

As he spoke, he pointed to the display window behind Boruto, which was filled with all kinds of cup ramen.

Boruto felt his forehead beating.

"Your hobby hasn't changed since you were little...it belongs to you from the beginning to the end."

He who was concentrating on his face raised his head.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"No, don't worry about it."

"Then I won't be polite. You can eat it yourself."

Naruto continued to feast.

Ok?

Boruto looked at Naruto, who was snarling at this moment, and was stunned again.

The 'Little Naruto' at this moment seems to have completely overlapped in image with the 'Father Naruto' who often meets in the office.

"what happened?"

Naruto felt slightly uncomfortable being stared at by Boruto.

"Eat it while it's hot."

"Oh oh oh, good."

"I'm gonna start now."

……

After dinner, the two father and son had some small talk in the house. Boruto chatted with his young 'old father' for the first time as a peer, which made him feel a lot. Now Naruto is a little out of line, and his whole person is also a little... Silly, he didn't have the preaching he would do later when he became a father.

Most of the time, Naruto alone was telling about Sakura, his teacher Kakashi, his master Jiraiya, and Uchiha Sasuke.

This made Boruto feel that the distance between himself and Naruto was further narrowed.

The two of them chatted until midnight. They were both so sleepy that they made the bed and prepared to fall asleep.

"Good night, Boruto. It feels like I haven't had such a happy chat in a long time."

"Well good night, me too."

Boruto closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But not long after he fell asleep, the Otsutsuki Sublimator on his chest flashed a faint light.

Boruto's consciousness reappeared in that strange alien space.

And there, Otsutsuki Momoshiki seemed to be waiting for him.
